[fpc-pascal] Working Free Pascal android JNI example

[Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho]

Hello, I am ressuscitating this ancient thread because I'd like to
continue the talk about it =)

My main doubt here is if androidprt0.as is really required, which
would mean that I can only produce android libraries if I make changes
to the compiler.

Benjamin, couldn't one just declare the missing simbols in code? This
would simplify things a bit.

Original message since most probably won't have it:
